"The Fonz" Gets Personal: Stroke and its Effects

Henry Winkler, the actor best known for playing "The Fonz" on TV's Happy Days, will share the story of his mother's struggle with upper limb spasticity following her stroke on May 22 at the Friday Center.

Space is limited. Pre-registration is encouraged by emailing to: openarms@med.unc.edu or calling 919-966-8920 by May 15.

Upper limb spasticity, often a problem for people who have had strokes, can occur weeks, months or years after a person's original injury and therefore often is not recognized or goes untreated. Other conditions which can cause spasticity include Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, and Cerebral Palsy.
